The Bitwise library includes bitwise operations like: AND, OR, XOR and Complement (NOT).

Also included in the Bitwise library are:

• DecToHex - Converts a decimal number to a hexadecimal number.
• HexToDec - Converts a hexadecimal number to a decimal number.
• DecToBin - Converts a decimal number to a binary number.
• BinToDec - Converts a binary number to a decimal number.
• SetBit - Sets a specific bit in a decimal number to 1.
• ClearBit - Clears a specific bit in a decimal number.
• GetBit - Returns a boolean value (true or false) representing a specific bit in a decimal number.
• StringToBytes - Returns an array of bytes from a string.
• BytesToString - Returns a string from an array of bytes.

Each of the above methods (except of StringToBytes and BytesToString) includes two versions, the first is for working with signed values (Int32 values) and the second is for working with unsigned values (UInt32 values).

For example, XOR is for signed values and XOR2 is for unsigned values.

Before using these features you need to add a reference to Bitwise.dll, add a Bitwise object and initialize it using New1.

Example:

'First add a Bitwise object named bit.

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub App_Start

      bit.New1

      msgbox(bit.XOR (123,32))

      a = bit.AND(255,15)

      if bit.OR(a,25) = 31 then msgbox("a = " & a)

End Sub
